Sox-Yanks rubber match tonight

The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees face off again tonight at 7:05 in the last game of the three-game set at Fenway. Both of tonight's pitchers come in with something to prove. The Sox will send Matt Clement, who was upset to be passed over earlier this month, when the teams met at Yankee Stadium. Meanwhile, the Yankees will go with Randy Johnson. The Sox torched the Yankees' old ace the last time they saw him. In his last five starts, including the one against Boston, Johnson is 2-2 with a 7.86 E.R.A.

The Red Sox will once again have Wily Mo Pena starting in center field.
